It’s a shorter route than through the thigh. The incision for my dad’s valve replacement was through the thigh, up the artery and into the heart, all arthroscopically.
Getting the throat sliced open again to remove the steel plate they put in wrong when they fused C5, 6 & 7. I am gonna get a zipper head tattooed at the end of the new scar in a year or two. The scar will run from my Carotid Artery on one side all the way across.
Decent joke, but the first time I heard it, it was referenced to Dr Christian Barnard. Nowadays, you’d need to have a lot of bday candles like me (and an elephant’s memory) or be a Jeopardy nerd to know the name.

The woman who thinks the way to a man’s heart is thru his stomach is setting her sights too high.

Just cut upward about a foot from there. That’s about how long my scar is.
